Chapter 323: The U.S. Open Coronation
"National Grand Prix Tennis Champion!"
"Champion of the six-time Vietnam Hope Race!"
"ITF Chengdu Challenge Champion!"
"The U.S. Open qualifying tournament has not lost a set in three matches and entered the main draw!"
"Haven't dropped a set in the first six rounds of the U.S. Open main draw to reach the final!"
And now, Panci is about to become the new US Open men's singles champion! This is also the second Grand Slam singles championship in China and even Asia after Sister Na, and the first men's Grand Slam singles championship! Once that dream comes true, Pansic will set a series of tennis records that have never been seen before or since! ”
Looking at Pan Xiqi standing in front of the service line, Tong Kexin almost uttered the above series of words in a roaring tone. And Sister Na beside her was crossing her fingers with her fingers crossed at this moment, holding them tightly in front of her chest, not daring to make any sound at all.
The moment Pansich got the match point, the crowd of more than 20,000 at Arthur Ashe Stadium made a louder noise than ever before. Many spectators even involuntarily stood up and cheered for the excellent performance of the two players. Because the cheering time was so long, in the end, even the referee had to remind the audience several times to calm down and let the game continue to return to the normal track.
"I can see that natto doesn't want to give up yet. But will Pansich, the amazing Chinese player, continue to give him this opportunity? Seeing that natto was trying to calm down and prepare for the hair extension, ESPN's commentator said in a deep voice.
"History has proven that countless Grand Slam novices will be under tremendous psychological pressure the moment they get the championship point. And this pressure is enough to crush the nerves of the players and make them unable to perform at their own level. Now let's see if Pancic's nerve strength is worthy of becoming a Grand Slam champion. McEnroe, who was on the sidelines, explained to the audience the pressure the players were facing at this moment.
In Pan Xiqi's player box, Wang Yan was even so nervous that she didn't dare to look at the picture on the field anymore. Although she had tasted a Grand Slam title in mixed doubles before, she understood that the value of Pancic's men's singles Grand Slam champion was not comparable to that of a hundred mixed doubles titles combined. And Lu Yanxun on the side had words in his mouth, but he didn't know what he was saying. But it can be seen that his nervousness at this moment is not much worse than that of Wang Yan.
On the other side of the court, in the player box of Natto, Natto's uncle Tony is clasping his hands together at the moment, as if praying for Natto. But from his expression, it can be seen that he doesn't have much hope for this US Open champion. And natto's girlfriend on the side is even more depressed, and her beautiful big eyes have gradually overflowed with a little moisture.
"Smack, smack, smack." Although he only slapped the ball lightly three times, in the Arthur Ashe Stadium, which had become extremely quiet again, such a sound was like thunder, exploding in the hearts of countless people. Because they knew that once Panci won the next point, then it would be the celebratory bell for Pansiqi's coronation.
Just when countless people were nervous about the next point, for some reason, Panci felt like he was completing an ordinary serve. From his face, there was not even any mood swings. If there is such a selection, Pan Xiqi's expressionless face in the face of the champion at this time will definitely be able to successfully be selected as one of the top three in the tennis poker face competition.
"What a frightening monster!" Not feeling Pansizi's nervousness at all, McEnroe sighed inwardly.
Adjusting his breathing and rethinking the break down of the serve in his mind, Pansiqi gently threw the ball up and started his match point serve. With this serve, he is not ready to blindly pursue lethality. With the current state of both sides, as long as he sends the ball smoothly into the field, there is a high probability of winning this point.
The tennis ball landed smoothly in the return area of natto at a speed of nearly 200 kilometers per hour, and thanks to Pansizi's insurance, the landing point was still some distance from the sideline. However, it was such a seemingly decent serve that brought an unexpected surprise to Pancic.
Natto, on the other side, has obviously given up the conventional style of play at this moment, and then chooses to attack Pan Xiqi with an extremely risky fighting hair extension. Because the first few points let him know that once he can't establish an advantage in the hair extension, then it will be difficult for him to take the initiative in the multi-shot hold. And only by strengthening the aggression of the return can it bring him a glimmer of life.
A powerful left-handed shot was swept away, and as soon as Natto's return ball was hit, the audience burst into exclamations. The tennis ball took Natto's last struggle, and thunderously attacked Pansiqi's side of the court. Looking at the route of the tennis flight, it is very likely that its landing point is very close to the right sideline on Pansiqi's side.
"Life or death, it's all about it!" The tennis ball shot, and Natto's eyes were fixed on the small yellow ball flying in the air. At this moment, all his hopes are pinned on such a small sphere.
For such a violent blow to natto, although Pan Xiqi was shocked in his heart, he was not unprepared. With a few big strides, Pansich quickly moved to the right. With extremely accurate prediction, the moment the tennis ball landed, Panci was already in place.
However, at the moment when the tennis ball quickly flew close to Pansiqi's body, and Pansiqi was about to shoot, there was an unexpected surprise for the audience. In the face of the incoming ball, Pansiqi did not return a hard volley, but added enough winding, quickly lifted his wrist up, and returned a moon ball that had not appeared for a long time.
But this is not the end of the game, after the shot, Pansiqi raised his right index finger high and shouted to the referee: "Ge! "After doing all this, the tennis ball smashed on the bottom line of natto's backcourt with great precision.
"Challenge! Pansic actually launched the Hawkeye challenge at this time! It seems that he has doubts about the landing point of natto's return serve. Next, if the Hawkeye replay shows that natto is out of bounds, Panci will win his first Grand Slam title in this bizarre way! After being stunned for a while, the ESPN commentary, who finally realized what was happening on the field, suddenly became extremely excited.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Mr. Pansiqi proposed the Hawkeye Challenge, and the challenge content is to return the serve of natto out of bounds! The referee raised the pitch several degrees to inform the audience.
"Wow!" At this moment, the whole stadium exploded again. Cheers, screams, and incomprehension filled everyone's eardrums.
"Pap, papa, pap" With the rhythmic applause of the audience, the big screens on both sides of the court began to play back the Eagle Eye video of the goal just now.
At this moment, the eyes of fans around the world are focused on these two small screens. Everyone's eyes widened for fear of missing a single detail.
With the advent of the simulated flight trajectory of the tennis ball, the tennis ball slowly fell on the court like a yellow meteor, leaving an oval shadow on the ground. And near this shadow, a striking white border line appeared.
"It's too close, and I still can't tell if it's out of bounds." Almost everyone in this dimension has the same doubts.
Immediately afterward, the Eagle Eye image continued to zoom in. Finally, when the shadow of the tennis ball on the ground is so large that it almost covers the whole frame, a gap as thick as a hair between the shadow and the white edge is revealed to everyone.
"Out of bounds, challenge successfully!" The next moment, the results of the challenge were displayed on the electronic screen.
"At the end of the match, Pansiqi won with a score of 7:5, 6:7, 6:1, 7:6!" The referee's announcement rang out.
"Champion! The new US Open champion belongs to China! "You who love it, how can you not pay attention to this or the hot online article, let's chat about the online article together~
